Using System.Diagnostics we can know the processes currently running in our machine.The code is quite simple. In the following demo, we will show all the processes running on your machine, plus a check if you are running Windows Live Messenger (a.k.a. MSN Messenger).


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace CheckRunningProcesses
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
const string messenger = "msnmsgr";
bool runningMessenger = false;

// Get Collection of running processes from Process Static method
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();

// Scan processes in the obtained collection
foreach (Process p in processes)
{
Console.WriteLine(p.ProcessName);

if (p.ProcessName == messenger)
{
runningMessenger = true;
}
}

if (runningMessenger)
{
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("You have Windows Live Messenger (MSN) Running"); 
}

Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Note: The above code does not check whether you are signed in to the msn service. It just checks whether the MSN executable is running.
